Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/5-5/11

With festival season easing in, I’m reflecting upon perhaps my favorite overseas fest, Barn on the Farm. Taking place in the English countryside, not too far from Wales, the rustic fest still manages to boast a stellar lineup of both known and new (to me) acts. The last, hopefully not final, Barn on the Farm was in 2023 where I feel in love with many a band including the passion and harmonies of Irish folk/pop group, Kingfishr, who happen to be playing their first Los Angeles show Monday night at The Hotel Cafe.

As the week continues, we’ve also got the start of a couple notable May residencies (Lila Forde, Hardcastle) and a couple powerful one-two punches in Rett Madison + John-Robert at the Echo and Circa Waves + Friday Pilots Club at the El Rey.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 1/13-1/19

With the ramifications from the ongoing fires and the continuing threat of evacuations, closures, and cancellations, it’s hard to know where live music sits. Some people need this community and this outlet more than ever while others need to prioritize taking care of things at home. I have not been in town and don’t have a great sense of how venues, bands, and concert-goers are responding (other than occasional messages about cancellations and resources for those in the music industry). What I do know is that what has helped me cope with events this week is to gather with other people from Los Angeles at none other than a concert. I hope that everyone can find safety and some sanity and trust that we will be rocking out together again soon!

The following list was put together before I left town. Be sure to check in with the venue or band to make sure any event is still happening:
